First of all, PMK is a shounen anime, feudal era samurais themed, with lotsa bishies to drool at. Yes, and that is what convinced me to watch it in the 1st place. All in all, the animation was good in quality and pretty. Graphics were pleasant. However, i don't quite agree with the plot though. I sort of feel that the plot did not unfold properly...perhaps there should be more events included instead of repeating certain things over and over again, especially parts of Tetsu brooding. There should be a bit more action, and at times some episodes were downright boring and pointless.
But then again, no anime is perfect....PMK is almost good enough and definitely worth watching. It's funny at proper times and exciting as well. And the best thing is, there's shounen-ai hints all over the anime. :D ♥
Characters:
The main character, Tetsunosuke. Cute and first glance, but frankly, I don't like him. He's the overly genki/eager type and reminds me strongly of Naruto. I don't like Naruto either. Tetsu's got some serious issues in the anime. :S
Tetsu's brother, Tatsunosuke. Much better compared to Tetsu, and damn good looking at certain angles. Annoying at times...why? Because they had to portray him as the overly-protective bro and a whimpy guy. >:(
The DEFINITE BISHIE of the anime, shinobi Susumu. :D The quiet serious type, mmm..i like. ♥♥♥ They should've shown more of him and less Tetsu, i say.
The shounen-ai theme is carried by both Hijikata and Souji. ♥ ♥ But there's wayyy too damn little scenes of them. Once again, Tetsu has to dominate the anime. >:( Guess it's up to my imagination now. *rubs hands evilly* Souji is so prettyyy. It took me quite some time to determine if he is a girl or guy, honestly.
Even the villains are good looking. 'Nough said.
Overall, i like how the characters grew in time in the anime. But too much Tetsu often kills my mood. It's a relatively short anime, with only 24 episodes.The ending wasn't very good, though happy it was rather unclear...i wish they would've told us what happened to Suzu at the end... :\ Still, I'd rate it a good 7.5/10.
